Working area

Send the required line length, anchor location and the area the user needs to reach.

System geometry

Describe the working direction and available fall clearance, including any edges or obstacles.

Compatibility

Include the harness, anchor and connectors already specified or in use.

Common questions

Fall arrest blocks enquiries

What details do you need for a fall arrest block quotation?

Provide the line length, anchor arrangement, user requirements, working area and any existing product reference or system details.

Is the longest available fall arrest block always the best choice?

No. Line length is only one factor. Anchorage, movement, fall clearance, working direction and compatibility with the complete system also need to be considered.

Need help specifying the requirement?

Send the application details you have and the Durham Lifting team can review what is needed for a quotation.
